Ellie Goulding clarifies dating rumours

Pop star Ellie Goulding has finally spoken about rumours that she is dating Ed Sheeran and One Direction’s Niall Horan.

Appearing on The Ellen DeGeners Show, the Burn singer laughed off the suggestions, saying that she is too busy working at the moment.

As the singer’s profile continues to grow, she is finding that she has to travel a lot – this leaves very little time for dating, let alone boyfriends.

“Niall apparently is my boyfriend, Ed Sheeran is apparently,” she told the eponymous host. Jeremy Irvine was an actual boyfriend - he was a real, actual boyfriend.”

It was previously understood that she was with the One Direction heartthrob for just under a month, breaking in September of this year.

The 26-year-old singer confirmed that she is very much single and happy with that scenario, although others may not be convinced as she said somewhat cryptically: “I do not have a real boyfriend at the moment.”

Goulding’s next track to be released from her recently repackaged album Halcyon Days is How Long Will I Love You, which features in Richard Curtis’ romantic movie About Time.
